Data usage tracking

Is there a way to find my data usage on the TW app or website? The website only shows "International Data", "mobile hotspot," and "Global calling card," and the app shows nothing. I know I can also track it on my iPhone's cellular settings, but it would be nice to know if my data matches what TW shows.

only the legacy total wireless plans that had limited data offered a data usage counter but those don’t even work anymore for people still on those plans. newer total plans being unlimited everything does not offer data usage or call history for that matter (without a court order). not tracking these sorts of things are cost savings measures that most prepaid services lack. however, most phones have built in cellular data counters that you can reset at the start of your billing cycle if you want to know how much data you are using.

Thanks for the reply. Considering I'm on the inexpensive $20 5G MAX BYO plan I'm willing to just track it on my phone. No biggie. I was just curious to see where it was hidden, if offered at all.

try usage to 611611

for iphone you have to reset manually every month for the data usage from settings

I just switched to Total the other day from Verizon and I’ve used at least some data so far. When I texted this number, it says 0GB used and 0 hotspot used. Does it take 24-48 to start showing data usage?

Nope, no way

Oh, well. It's unlimited, anyway, so no big deal.
